2009 Honda Civic 1.3L Petrol · VO59 WCC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift from clean inspections to reactive servicing. While the car passed its October 2025 test at 118,820 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. The appearance of thin rear brake pads and worn rear brake discs, along with three tyres reaching the legal limit, indicates that a period of deferred maintenance has likely occurred or the current owner is only addressing issues once they trigger MOT warnings. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a significant jump of 20,560 miles between October 2024 (98,260 miles) and October 2025 (118,820 miles), which represents a sharp increase in usage compared to the previous annual intervals of roughly 8,000 to 11,000 miles. This recent surge in mileage explains the sudden increase in wear on consumable components like the braking system and tyres in the latest report. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension and alignment, as the recurring uneven tyre wear noted in 2022 and 2025 suggests potential issues with worn suspension bushes or incorrect camber geometry. The braking system requires immediate attention as the 2025 advisory confirms both pads and discs are nearing the end of their functional life. Given the age of this Honda Civic, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is also essential, though the MOT record does not yet highlight any structural failures.
